Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Growth of the Manor Some twelve years ago I attempted to treat the difficult subject of villainage in a volume which was intended to pave the way towards a discussion of the origins of the Manorial System. Various professional duties have prevented me hitherto from following up the thread of my investigations, and, now that I am free to return to these studies, I find that their ground has been to a great extent shifted by the remarkable work achieved in the mean time by English scholars. Professor Maitland, Mr. Seebohm, Mr. Bound and others have approached the problem from new points of view, have brought to bear on it a vast amount of new evidence, and have sifted the materials at our disposal with admirable skill. If I still beg leave to be heard on the subject, I may plead in excuse the nature of the problem and the stage at which the inquiry has arrived at the present moment. In a study of such magnitude and complexity there are, and will be for a long while yet, insufficiently explored fields awaiting labourers. I may point out, for example, the analysis of Domesday, and the study of the "Danelaw," as parts of the inquiry which will, according to the best authorities, yield fair results to conscientious explorers. Indeed, it is my hope to be able to publish in no very distant future a second volume of the "Essays in English Mediæval History," of which "Villainage in England" was the first instalment. But there is also another aspect from which new attempts to approach the questions at issue seem warranted.
